Rolex

The dial and also the lume changed color. That still fascinates me.

A wrist shot of my favorite Rolex Yacht Master.

By: amanico : April 14th, 2022-22:07

Year after year, we could see several variations of the Yacht-Master. For me, this is THE one. It is the most subtle, with its platinum dial and bezel. It is THE Yacht-Master, for me. Best, Nicolas ...

massive cool

A good definition.

By: amanico : April 14th, 2022-22:14

Just my personal feel

By: Gelato Monster : April 14th, 2022-22:16

more brutal than the bigger case.

More brutal, this first generation??? I find it sweeter, on the contrary, with its slimmer lugs.

By: amanico : April 14th, 2022-22:19

I meant it looks even more brutal than other bigger rolex (dssd. sky, etc).

By: Gelato Monster : April 14th, 2022-22:25

Personally the 42mm yachtmaster is the brutal raw thus less sophisticated to be called master.

Aaaah here I agree.

By: amanico : April 14th, 2022-23:15

Just my personal preference and feeling

By: Gelato Monster : April 14th, 2022-23:24

They are all awesome in different way😀

Likewise!

By: amanico : April 15th, 2022-06:56

I think it is THE macho Rolex

By: Gelato Monster : April 14th, 2022-22:14

Totally unconventional for a Sub. ;)

By: amanico : April 14th, 2022-22:19

IMHO the sub and sea dweller is nice boy and big nice boy version of the ocean. this one is BAD

By: Gelato Monster : April 14th, 2022-22:21

That.... is THE one for sure!

By: nacelle : April 14th, 2022-22:14

Me think, too. ;)

By: amanico : April 14th, 2022-22:19

Sunny day, shimmering sea, soothing beach, and a superlative watch!

By: KCLQMULKU : April 14th, 2022-22:47

What more to ask for? ;)

By: amanico : April 14th, 2022-23:14

With a little touch of red.

By: Bill : April 14th, 2022-22:50

Which makes a big difference, indeed.

By: amanico : April 14th, 2022-23:14

Agree

By: Gelato Monster : April 14th, 2022-23:25

Sweet Rolex YM, but digging the jacket a little bit more! There is probably a lot of history with that outwear. Thanks! -John

By: John-E-Mac : April 15th, 2022-00:03

A good old jacket from Armani Jeans.

By: amanico : April 15th, 2022-06:57

I absolutely agree. I think the first generation of YM's were the best.

By: BigFatPauli : April 15th, 2022-00:31

Yes, they offered something different, unrivaled.

By: amanico : April 15th, 2022-06:57

It's truly....

By: AuHavrePro : April 15th, 2022-00:50

one of the rare 'Rollers' I'd happily wear myself. What's unusual about it, besides the size, is the super low-key material and color combo. One might even, bewilderingly, not recognize the make with a passing glance . Cheers, Filip

Alas, they will immediately recognize the typical bracelet...

By: amanico : April 15th, 2022-06:58

A wonderful Rolex. Took me some years to get used to the bezel, but the last 10 years it has slowly grown on me and I love it now. Slim lugs and case so it sits perfect on the wrist and the red seconds-hand is cool. On my wish list. Happy Easter. Lars

By: LarsG : April 15th, 2022-04:44

I cross my fingers for you, my friend. I highly recommend to get one before it falls in the " mad universe ".

By: amanico : April 15th, 2022-06:59

Thanks my friend. I´ve been lucky with the Air-King and Explorer. So many watches and so little money :-( ha ha

By: LarsG : April 15th, 2022-07:09

True, true, but this one is not in the unreasonable side. ;)

By: amanico : April 15th, 2022-07:28

Agreed !

By: LarsG : April 15th, 2022-07:59

Hmmm, that one and a Milgauss Green Glass... With the Air King... Can you imagine the killing threesome???

By: amanico : April 15th, 2022-08:06

Yes!!!!!! The three musketeers. The green glass Milgauss is the star in the Milgauss line. Not only the green glass but also the orange 3,6,9

By: LarsG : April 15th, 2022-08:17

Definitely!!!!

By: amanico : April 15th, 2022-20:37

Very nice, Nico. It has the same monochrome style as the titanium Odysseus.

By: joenghenry : April 15th, 2022-05:15

Enjoy the Easter Friday with this beauty. Cheers, Henry

In better. :))))

By: amanico : April 15th, 2022-06:58

By far my favourite as well

By: agyzace : April 15th, 2022-05:41

Tempted by it since the early 2000’s

You should try to get one, before it reaches the sky.

By: amanico : April 15th, 2022-06:59

Go, my friend!

By: amanico : April 15th, 2022-20:37

If I find a NOS 116622, it will be mine

By: agyzace : April 16th, 2022-06:42

I missed one a month ago and I was super sad about it

And why not a 16622?

By: amanico : April 16th, 2022-07:13

I like the bracelet more and the way it integrates to the case better

By: agyzace : April 16th, 2022-19:07

I know small things 😊

Small but very important things, for sure.

By: amanico : April 16th, 2022-21:22

Thats one great looking rolex 👌🏻😘

By: Watchonthewrist : April 15th, 2022-07:04

Still underrated i guess

Yes, totally.

By: amanico : April 15th, 2022-07:28

The perfect one. Enjoy.

By: pastaboy1939 : April 15th, 2022-09:53

Merci, Pastaboy.

By: amanico : April 15th, 2022-20:38

It is indeed a very attractive reference … after my hopefully soon to come Pepsi, this is also on my crown wish list

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : April 15th, 2022-11:15

Hurry up, mon ami. It is still doable.

By: amanico : April 15th, 2022-20:39

😎 my biggest problem is my list of wishes new reference is much longer then my current collection!

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : April 15th, 2022-20:56

Enjoy your Easter weekend my friend

Same back to you, mon ami.

By: amanico : April 15th, 2022-21:02

A classic and under appreciated today I think.

By: nasseriq : April 15th, 2022-11:25

Yes, you are right, but it will change. Let's not forget that when it was issued, in 1999, it was pure madness.

By: amanico : April 15th, 2022-20:42

You're right. I remember it well. But then I came to appreciate it, not least the dial that changes colour, the unique case and refined lugs, the cool allure of its platinum bezel ... and the +2s/d that mine keeps.

By: kjkt3 : April 15th, 2022-22:33

The dial and also the lume changed color. That still fascinates me.

By: amanico : April 16th, 2022-07:14

Absolutely

By: emalit : April 23rd, 2022-18:33

It’s the highest combination of understatement and luxury!

Thanks for commenting, Emalit.
